LEGOLAND Junior Galaxy Explorer Contest
January 30, 2026 @ 8:00 am - 5:00 pm

Ignite your spacecraft engines! As LEGOLAND® California prepares for its biggest investment yet — the launch of Galacticoaster, the first indoor, space-themed family coaster opening in early 2026 — LEGOLAND is searching for a team of Junior Galaxy Explorers who will be the very first to ride on opening day. California based participants can enter by submitting their best LEGO® spacecraft creations at these in person events:
- Saturday, Jan. 30 and 31: Kidspace Children’s Museum – Pasadena
Can’t attend? A digital submission option is available, with a deadline of Dec 31, 2025. Winners will join the first-ever Junior Galaxy Explorer team, ride Galacticoaster first at LEGOLAND California and (for digital winners) receive travel to the Park. Prizes also include a two-night stay at LEGOLAND Hotel during Galaxy Opening weekend, four annual passes for the winner’s family, themed clothing for on-camera reports, and a one-of-a-kind LEGO build.
